Great question. Perhaps I just say 'new' because I hadn't seen it before. I had this movie on VHS for a long time and actually wore it out. I guess I didn't know Criterion previously had a 3 disc release.

Of course, whenever you see one of these new collections advertised, they always use the "never before shown footage" and "Special behind the scenes...". It's almost as annoying as the trend in releasing films with garbage footage that was so crappy it was scrapped in the final cut, but then calling the release the "Unrated Edition" or saying "With new Unrated Footage". As if there are suddenly dancing whores jumping out of cakes! (Which, in Brazil wouldn't even seem too odd.)

I think this years top six presents wil be
1. A popup toaster with hifi butter dish, ear muff warmers and a walk-in TV channel cozy.
2. A 4WD long wheelbase mobile phone running on a mixture of green diesel and organic spit.
3. A TV set without an ON button.
4. An aerosol of anti Osama bin Laden spray.
5. Self basting heatseeking vegetarian pork sausage.
6. A CD of Tony Blairs promises, accompanied by a postage stamp, on the back of which is written the one that he has almost kept.

1953 I got a battle wagon, pressed and enamelled 2'6 " deep tray with steerable front wheels and a swan neck handle that meant you could sit in it and hurtle down hills. The only drawback was no brakes so it meant lots of bruises and abrasions [pained expression and tears]:lol:

Rhakios,
Found that it's more than a re-packaging by Criterion. Content remains the same. (Same x minutes of "bonus footage".) But they did a new anamorphic 1.78:1 transfer with remastered soundtrack for the "new" 3 disc set. It was released in September of this year.

If I get it, I'll give you a review.

As a kid, I was always told "I want, doesnt get".......proven again when having this years job appraisal meeting "I want to work 3 days a week for the same money, no, make that more money, and I want twice as much holiday..........I want you to stop laughing now please, its been 10 minutes!"

ten or eleven years ago my oldest son gave me a computer for Christmas that had windows already installed. Eventually I went online with it and it got destroyed ( naturally ). I bought a new computer three years ago which also had a windows OS. I spent lots of money on software and hard drive reformats trying to cope with the " holes " in windows. I eventually just gave up and was forced into Linux.

Needless to say I am very glad to be now in the Linux community; and I sincerely hope the open source mentality finds its way into other human environments.
